Cheap Christmas Gifts for Preschoolers

Beanie Babies are cute, cuddly and there are lots of different animals to choose from.

This little dog is gorgeous and would be a big Christmas hit with a preschool girl especially. 

You can find even hard to get Beanie Babies at Amazon so it's easy to find an animal that they will love. 

My First Sticky Mosaics are also a great idea. They are fun. They feel like a big kid activity without being as hard as a big kid activity. 

Preschool kids love playing with stickers. So a sticker craft like this is perfect for them. There's lots of designs to choose from so you just need to pick one you think they will enjoy. 

.....and before I forget parents love them too because they are a low mess craft.

Preschool kids LOVE Play Doh.

They love creating with it. Squeezing it. Hitting it. They just love it. Luckily there are some good Play Doh activity kits around.

These make a great gift for preschool kids and usually aren't too expensive. 

Thomas the Tank Engine is an absolute favorite with young kids. The only issue is Thomas toys can be very expensive. 

This Thomas Train is a great price and perfect for a Christmas present for any preschool child who still loves the little train. (It's especially good for a younger preschooler.)

This Thomas toy is much like Duplo blocks so a good choice for any child who still plays with these and hasn't graduated to LEGO blocks yet. The train is fun to put together and the set works well with any Duplo blocks they might already have. 

Lacing sets are fun for preschool kids and they are great for helping their coordination too. This means they're a good Christmas gift for this age group. These sets are usually under $10 so they're great on price as well.

This Melissa & Doug Lacing Set is one of my favorites. But you can find lots of different ones with things like fairies, dinosaurs or cars online at Amazon. So it's easy to find one that matches the interests of the preschooler you're buying for. 

This towing game is a variation of the classic magnetic fishing games. These fishing games have been a traditional toy for helping children's coordination for decades, So this tow truck version also makes a good learning toy for helping a preschool boy develop his coordination.

This gift idea is also great for pretend play because each tow truck can be moved about on it's own, separate from the backing board. This gives them another way to have fun (almost like two games in one) and also helps their imagination. 

Preschool boys usually love anything about cars or trucks so this is a good gift for Christmas time. 

There are some great Playmobil sets around that are popular with preschool kids. They're also hours of fun because these little sets are so good for pretend play. This manes they're really good Christmas gifts that kids can have fun with for the whole year. 

I've featured the Moon Rocket Playmobil set here because it can be hard to find cheaper make believe toys for boys. But there are many of these smaller Playmobil sets at Amazon that are good for boys and girls.
